167 Is This a Test? (2/2)

”Hm? What do you need so much paper for?” Her disappointment changed to puzzlement.

”You'll see.” Leon said mysteriously.

”Well… alright.”

Although Amelia was puzzled, she got someone to fetch Leon the pen and paper as he requested.

After receiving the pen and paper, Leon got himself a private room and got to work immediately. The pen in his hand blurred as it filled up one page after another. The task was not as easy as it sounded as Leon mentally dismantled the levitation stone in his mind and record it down in parts. It was test for his mental capabilities.

”There, it's done. Have a look and see if it would be useful.” Leon said with some fatigue. After six hours of writing, he had finally record everything down on paper. He compiled the papers and stealthily slipped something under from his Worldspace before handing them over to Amelia. ”I'll be heading back first. Take your time to study it.”

Leon did not wait for a reply from the Lancasters before he left. His hand had grown sore from the hours of quick-paced writing.

…

Watching Leon's departing back view for a moment, Ignis turned to his wife and asked, ”What did the boy give you?”

”This… is…”

Amelia glanced down at the first page and was startled. She instantly recognized parts of it as that of the levitation stones. Her expression soon turned to shock as she finished skimming through the first page. She wanted to move onto the next page, but she had difficulty holding such a thick stack of paper.

”Hold this for me.”

She gave the bottom portion to Ignis to hold, before flipping through the pages one after another. Her expression underwent various changes before it settled on the expression of awe.

”This is incredible! Such great details! Is this the interior of the levitation stones!? Dear, did you take Leon to dismantle one of the airship's levitation stone?” Amelia exclaimed in amazement. However, her question did not receive any response from the Duke.

Did he not hear what she just said, or did he not care? Doesn't he understand the value of this stack of paper after what she just said!? However, she did not snap at her husband since she was in a good mood.

”Dear? What are you reading?”

Amelia removed her eyes from the stack of paper and glanced at her husband, whom appeared to be spellbound, immersed in his reading of what appears to be a cultivation manual. Ignis did snap out of it until he was shaken violently by Amelia's hands.

”Ah? What's up?”

”I said… what are you reading!? Were you deaf!? Why didn't you answer my questions?” Amelia said with a hint of annoyance.

Ignis gawked, before scratching his head wryly. ”You can't blame me for this. That boy has given us a priceless treasure. We will not be able to repay this favor.”

”Of course, I know it's a priceless treasure, but why do we need to repay Leon? The research is tied to the development of the kingdom. It's not strange for the boy to want to help since he is royalty. His accomplish is worthy of praise. What is this about repaying a favor?”

”Haiz… I'm talking about that. I'm talking about this. How can the chance to reach the legendary Transcendent Realm, not a great favor?” Ignis held up the manual in his hand.

It was the [Fiery God Manual] Leon practiced in his previously life. However, it wasn't exactly the same. It had undergone revision with the [Great Sky Refining Art] as reference to suit the cultivation path of Awakeners due to the lack of spirit energy to cultivate it.

”What? That manual has the method to reach the Transcendent Realm!?” Amelia widened her eyes and stared at the manual in Ignis's hands with great shock. The Transcendent Realm methods was what the royal family kept to stay in power. Could something like that be casually given away!? Was this a test!?
